Excerpt from Principles of Farm Practice

For several years the author has been giving a survey course in agriculture for teachers and prospective teachers attending the summer session of Miami University. Many of these students, who were teachers of agriculture, have expressed a Wish that the contents of the course be assembled and organized into a textbook adapted for use in the problem method of instruction.

An attempt was made to organize the material of this course around the farm as the unifying center. It was then submitted to trial in both regular and smith-hughes courses in high schools. The results of this test seemed to justify making the material thus organized available for instruction in the form presented in this book.
